Today my niece Jayda is 8 years old. I can't believe how times flies! Seems like just yesterday she was born. I know, I sound old saying that but it's true. She is such a beautiful girl (always has been) and she makes me laugh. She is so smart and so spoiled... but that's what happens when you're the first grandchild on both sides. I love this crazy little girl so much!! Just wish we got to see her more often!

Jayda loves her Grandma Lori

On another note, here are pictures from Halloween (better late than never). We didn't really dress up but Brock decorated our house & it turned out so good! He had speakers set up outside so it would play scary sounds & music randomly, it was awesome. We only had a few trick or treaters come by on Sunday. At least we carved pumpkins with Shalene & Jim the week before Halloween so I guess that counts for not dressing up.

Our house during the day

The house at night... couldn't get a picture of the scary skeleton man cuz our strobe light wasn't working

Isn't this guy freaky?! Scared our dogs and one of our trick or treaters... poor kid wouldn't even come up to the door

Bet you can't guess who this is :)

Sorry these pictures are blurry... my pumpkin has a frazzled look on it's face. Kinda like mine all the time
